Tampa Bay Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming

EL CHISPAZO (2) finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1308m at this track three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expecting a bold showing. THE BEST DISTANCE (5) was a narrow winner two back at this track (Dirt) then in the placings last time at this track (Dirt). Drops a little in the weights. Form this track is hard to knock with four wins from 10 starts. Among the leading chances. SOULMATE (6) is backing up quickly after finishing in the money at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) over 1609m just 10 days ago. Good effort last start and a bold showing is likely. CUPID'S DUDE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1646m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fifth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance. Something for the Multiples: TEXAS SPLURGE (7)

Most recently scored a big 3 len win at this track March 8 over 1646m defeating My Lucky Angel carrying 54kg at $14.10. The run before that second last of 7 at Fairgrounds on January 8 over 1673m, 20 len behind Prince Day carrying 55.5kg at $5.40. A top-three finish would surprise.
